Horns
are essential tools for informing nearby boaters of your location and
intent, and the louder the horn, the clearer you're heard. Marinco
and its AFI division have developed a horn that seems to offer rock-concert-like
volume.

The
Drop-In Hidden Horn Model 11080 is said to generate 111 dBs (65 dB is
the level of normal conversation), yet its size is thankfully small: It
measures just 33⁄8"Hx51⁄4"Wx3⁄4"D, which
should make for easy mounting. To help it blend in with your boat, AFI
offers the 11080 with white, off-white, black, or stainless steel grills.

The
Drop-In Hidden Horn is available through most marine accessory retailers.
